April 10th, 2008: Stated Meeting:
Featured speaker was Brother William Fleisher of the The Vidocq Society who talked to us about the "Boy in the Box" case and other unsolved crimes. Also accompanying him was Ron Avery author of "City of Brotherly Mayhem" who elaborated further about the boy in the box case.
Who was the mysterious "Boy in the Box"? How did he die? Was his death a tragic accident, or a cruel and deliberate act of child homicide? Who killed him, and why? How did the nude, badly bruised body of this little boy come to be placed inside a cardboard box and dumped in a remote, rubbish-strewn lot on the northern outskirts of Philadelphia? Why didn't anyone report the boy missing? Who were the boy's parents or guardians, and why hadn't they come forward to identify him and claim his body? Will this little boy's true identity ever be known, or will he forever remain "America's Unknown Child"?
